Glad we decided to stay here. Location ideal for easy access to the great transport systems in Vienna.

Hotel was very good, not perfect of course but pretty close when taking account of the price. We have stayed in other hotels where the quality and service is not so good but at a much higher price. The facilities both in room and in the hotel were of a high standard but of course the building is pretty new which helps.

Stand out feature was the quality of the staff - everyone we came across was a great credit to the hotel; warm, genuine service and a desire to please which is sadly lacking in many comparable priced hotels.

The big let down as has been remarked by others was the lack of wardrobe space. We had a junior suite for six nights and whilst we travelled fairly light ( only 20kg each) the wardrobe was inadequate. Hanging space far too narrow and two of the four shelves so low you needed to kneel down to access them. There is no excuse for such a poor facility; the wardrobe takes up one half of one side of the entrance hall to the suite and the other half is empty space. It would not be difficult nor expensive for a good joiner to construct a stylish unit to use all the wall space thus doubling what is available.

If you are travelling light, happy to use your suitcase for storage space or are not bothered about clothes being squashed together, hard to access etc. or only staying a few days then okay but otherwise prepare to be disappointed.

This hotel was truly a great surprise. Very clean (it's a new hotel) and well appointed rooms and public areas. Quiet, despite being next to a busy street with trams. Well located with good public transport access. A boutique hotel that is very well managed by helpful and charming staff without a hint of smugness or superiority. The restaurant and bar staff were especially good. We attended one party in the bar which was excellent and had breakfast a couple of times. Breakfast was fresh, generous and very varied with something for everyoneI would definitely recommend this hotel.

My husband and I stayed in a Junior Suite at Hotel Sans Souci during a recent 7 day Christmas break. Overall, we liked the hotel but weren't overwhelmed. While they do many things well, there are a few important areas deserving some attention by management. Would we stay there again on a future visit? We wouldn't rule it out, but we would also consider some other alternatives.

Things we liked:* Assistance from the front desk in making restaurant reservations in advance of our arrival.* The hotel's location was wonderful: close to the Ring Road, 1 block from the Volkstheatre Underground station, and near the Kunsthistorisches Museum and Hofburg Palace attractions. We were able walk to most tourist attractions very easily and access the rest easily via Vienna's extensive public transportation system.* Since the hotel is in a newly renovated building, the decor, bathrooms and all furnishings and facilities are new, clean, and modern.* The bathroom floors were heated (wonderful). * The Toto washlet toilet was a pleasant surprise.* The coat hooks near the door were very handy.* There was an in-room safe for valuables.* There is a nicely equipped small health club and pool downstairs. We noticed that a lot of families with small children seemed to appreciate having the pool, which is a rarity in many city hotels.

Things we didn't like:* Lack of storage for clothing! The ONLY place to store clothing was a mid-sized standing wardrobe piece in the entry hall. Half of the wardrobe had a rod for hanging clothes. The other half had shelves, one of which contained the safe. Once my husband unpacked his bag, the wardrobe was almost completely filled. I had to end up living out of my suitcase for the entire week, unpacking and repacking with every change of clothes. Grrrr. This is unacceptable in a Junior Suite. * As several other reviewers have noted, breakfast is a train wreck and is the major reason we will consider staying elsewhere in the future. There appear to be many staff working, but nothing happens very quickly. First you must search for someone to seat you. Then it takes forever to get a pot of coffee. The coffee finally arrives, it is in a ceramic pot that quickly cools, and there is only enough for two cups. By then you have already started on the cold offerings on the buffet, which are adequate but not as terrific as some other reviewers would lead you to believe. The menu's offering of hot entrees is fairly basic: eggs (fried, scrambled, omelettes, etc.), oatmeal, pancakes, and breakfast meats. Frankly, I think this hotel would do better to ditch menu service altogether and make breakfast more of a self-service meal. Station the hostess at the front door, seating people. Put out a big urn of good coffee that guests can access quickly and refill often, offer a more appealing variety of cold items (I don't need 15 different unidentifiable yogurt-looking dishes), and provide a hot buffet that is frequently refreshed/replenished. Honestly, this restaurant's poor design (both floor plan and operation), needs to be totally re-thought. Several mornings we considered just walking out and going to a nearby cafe, even though breakfast was included in our room rate.* The light in the toilet room comes on automatically whenever the door is opened; there is no override. Anytime anyone goes to the toilet during the night, the bedroom is flooded with light. This is very annoying.* A room key is required to operate the elevator but we (as well as many other guests that we observed) found the mechanism in the elevator to be cantankerous. It often took several tries for the elevator to recognize our room key and commence operation.* The bar is terribly smoky. That's not uncommon in Vienna, but still unpleasant.

As an aside....Although we were there over Christmas, you'd never know it by looking at the hotel. Aside from a sprig of greenery added to centerpieces on tables in the restaurant, decorations were not readily apparent. That's management's prerogative, but I'd have preferred to see more at my Christmas home away from home. The hotel proudly proclaims its modern, trendy, hip "decoration by yoo" and "original works of art." While I am a fan of sleek, modern design, IMHO, they missed the boat with this one. The grey and lavender color scheme with splashes of mirrored surfaces looks like a modern bordello. And the walls of our Junior Suite were sadly empty, containing only only small piece of art. I'm for quality over quantity, but our room needed something more on the walls.

Room Tip: 106 is quiet Junior Suite on back interior of building. No view, but extremely quiet.

Wow, if It could rate this hotel with 6 stars, I would. Everything about the Hotel Sans Souci was amasing. This is probably the nicest hotel we have stayed in. Luxury and stylish in every possible way.

Everything about the hotel was full of luxury and perfection. The check-in process was great and the front desk nicely explained the property and area. We were given fresh drinks at check in and shown to our room.

The room and bathroom was done in a very high standard and had so many extras, it clearly earned a 6* rating. It felt so new inside and spotlessly clean. It is also in a great location, with the Metro and all transportation right outside the door. Breakfast was the absolute best we every had. All items on the buffet was highest quality and the service was perfect.

We also used the spa downstairs all 3 days and another big wow. The hotel as an amasing spa and swimming pool. Here too, it has so many extras in it compared to other spas I have used. It made us feel very special guests.

The people and service made it also very special. Interesting story, in the city, we were looking at a map and a nice young lady asked us if we needed help. She told us she was going that way too and come with her and she will show us. She was really helpful and a being a fine representative of the city. After we got going, she asked us while on the Metro where we were staying and we said the Sans Souci. Well, her eyes lighted up and said she worked there! We asked her name and she said Denise, and it turned out she was the exact person I booked my stay with! This story just tells you of the quality of the people working there. She was giving us all this help and suggestions about the city BEFORE she knew where we were staying.

I highly recommend the Sans Souci. We were so pleased in every possbile way and can't wait to return. Again, this is the highest standard to compare another hotel to, it is at the top!

I spent two night here as part of a group, yet was treated like an individual in the friendliest way possible. Fantastic service from start to finish, really comfortable room (with beds and showers fit for a king), and brilliant breakfast. Spent a relaxing, uninterrupted couple of hours in the pool and sauna and would not hesitate to return to this hotel or recommend it to friends.

Wow. What a great hotel. The location couldn't be better. The people were really friendly and helpful, the rooms are stunning and very comfortable and the bar and restaurant are great too.

Breakfast was a nice, fresh buffet and you can order eggs.We had a terrific lunch one day.They have two elegant bars.

The decor is somewhere between boutique chic and surreal, Austrian 'hip'. I don't get the photo series of and by a narcissist-about-town but, hey, art is subjective. There was an off-putting three-foot purple berry thing on the way to the lifts. I just hurried past.

Our room had a great (signed) Lichtenstein print, so that redeemed a lot.

The bed was as comfortable as any bed I've ever slept in. The shower and tub were great (not all rooms have a tub -- or a signed Lichtenstein, I imagine). There was one of those Toto Washlet toilets that I've read about in Monocle but never experienced. We made fun of it (and Tyler Brulé) mercilessly but I missed it when I got home.

If I went back to Vienna, I'd stay here. If there was no room, I'd change my dates.

Room Tip: The rooms on the main street overlook a noisy tram route -- but the windows are triple-glazed so I w...
